Former chief minister and Punjab Lok Congress chief Amarinder Singh will join the BJP next week, party spokesperson said on Friday. Singh will also merge his newly formed party with the BJP.
Singh (80) had floated the Punjab Lok Congress (PLC) last year after quitting the Congress following his unceremonious exit as chief minister.
Singh resigned as chief minister of Punjab months ahead of the Assembly polls after a bruising power struggle with state party chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Charanjit Singh Channi succeeded him as the Punjab chief minister up to the elections in February 2022. Both Capt. Amarinder and Channi lost the elections that the Aam Aadmi Party swept the polls.
He will join the BJP in the presence of party president JP Nadda and other leaders in Delhi.
